Friday: Improvement for Sauber and Sutil
Swiss team has been able to make progress since the insipid Australian Grand Prix, but Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez know that there is still a lot of work to do to tame a difficult Sauber C33.
Adrian Sutil (No. 99) – 13th and 13th
For the German, the situation is better than in Melbourne where the C33s faced great difficulty: « Compared to Melbourne, we have made some steps forward. The things we had on the program worked in part. » He admits there is still work to do with a recalcitrant car: « However, the car is difficult to control and is not easy to drive. We have a lot of work ahead of us. »
Esteban Gutierrez (No. 21) – 15th and 15th
On the Mexican’s side, who is more talkative, positivity prevails: “I think it was a positive day. We managed to have no problems today. From that perspective, it’s positive. Besides that, we managed to complete our program with both cars, so we collected interesting information that we can use tomorrow to make the right decision.”
Saturday will be a studious day in this respect: « Compared to Melbourne, we have made a step forward because the stability under braking is better. We still have additional things to develop and improve. We need to evaluate stints with a lot of fuel and find the best compromise for the race. »
